Do any of our battery or electronics experts have any thoughts? I wonder: 1) how hard/expensive is it to make or mine all of the material necessary to make windows for all houses; and 2) how hard/expensive is it to recycle or properly dispose of this much [whatever it is] over time once in a steady state?

I wonder what the lifecycle is of it - how long will it last and what’s the degradation over time?

This is HUGE…but only a first step. The 11% figure is only only good for the first phase change, it drops by half within 3 cycles.

Still very exciting news.

Funny timing. I was pricing thermal window coverings for Purple last night.
